This poem describes the fleeting nature of love and memories. It tells the reader to cherish just one day of love that they have hidden in their heart, as one thousand days and nights can disappear. Though the day of love gives all and takes all away, leaving one to never know, the poet encourages the reader not to lose hope that this special day may come again.

1. Dan ljubezni / Pepel in kri
Pusti tisoč dni in tisoč noči, ki jih več ni,
saj sploh ne veš, da so kdaj bili.
Vzemi le en dan,
ki skril si ga tja na srčno stran,
pozabil ga nikoli več ne boš.
To je bil tvoj dan ljubezni,
ljubezni dan, ki ne mine nikdar.
Svet živi za dan ljubezni,
dan, ki da ti vse in vse ti vzame,
tega nikdar ne veš.
Kdaj prišel bo zate spet ta dan,
naj te upanje ne zapusti.
Le zaspi, ko jutro se zbudi,
to bo ljubezni dan.
Day of love
Leave one thousand days
and one thousand nights
that there are no more.
You even don t know yourself
that they ever were.
Take only one day
that you hid there in your heart.
You will never again forget it.
That was your day of love,
The most beautiful day,
which will never end.
The world lives for a day of love,
the day that gives you all
and all takes away from you,
you may never know.
When it comes,
that day again for you,
don t ever lose your hope.
Just go to sleep
when the day has dawned,
this will be the day of love.
